Colorful?  Fabulous?  Dazzling? This Marc by Marc Jacobs Graphic Standard Supply Hobo caught my eyes at my first sight because of its rich bright colors. And what’s your first impression?

This Marc by Marc Jacobs Graphic Standard Supply Hobo is neither made from any luxurious material nor does it have any elegant aspect. And I guess that’s the reason why this Marc by Marc Jacobs  Hobo is just priced at $168. Unbelievable? But it’s true. Made from cotton canvas, this Graphic Standard Supply Hobo features colorful and artistic designs, combining various vibrant colors, which seem to come in halftone patterns and in paint splatters. Though I have no interest on canvas, the sparkled bright colors and artistic design of this hobo are utterly chic and stylish.

Marc Jacobs knows clearly how to create fun and fabulous bags with his special palette. And the most successful detailing of this attractive hobo is its bright colors. With distressed lettering on the lining, Marc Jacobs shows his logo, which also is conspicuously printed on the adjustable strap. This Marc by Marc Jacobs Graphic Standard Supply Hobo is a perfect bag for the spring and summer with it vibrant colors, it definitely will light up your life.

This white Burberry Soft Knots Hobo caught my eyes by its grate elegance, which is also my deep impression for Burberry bags. Burberry is known as one of the best and most famous fashion houses, and as we know, Burberry bags are loved for their beauty, stylishness and great elegance, and this Burberry Soft Knots Hobo is just a very good example.

The knot design, the first detail that enchants me, is no doubt the spotlight for the quite simple Burberry bag. Compared with gorgeous Valentino bags with brilliant ruffles, this Burberry Soft Knots Hobo is quite simple and elegant. If the Valentino bags with ruffles are open-minded and passionate women, then Burberry bags are holy, elegant, quiet and confident women.

The Burberry Soft Knots Hobo comes in smooth leather with soft knots detail at front and a large comfortable shoulder strap. The leather is softly pleated as a result of the knotting, which enables me to believe this Burberry Soft Knots Hobo is a durable one. If you want to show your elegance, self-confidence, self-fashion with one bag, this holy white Burberry Soft Knots Hobo is definitely the best choice.

Louis Vuitton Monogram Denim Sunburst PM Bag

It’s funny that the names of  some Louis Vuitton 2010 spring  bags include sun, like sunrise, sunshine and sunburst. The bags with sun-related name are all made of Louis Vuitton’s signature denim. And all of the bags come in brilliant colors. Personally, I have a great interest on this green Monogram Denim Sunburst Bag. As its name referred, this Louis Vuitton bag with exquisite design and beautiful color is just like the gorgeous sunburst, which definitely will bring you refreshing sunburst felling when you carry it.

I wasn’t crazy about Monogram Denim Sunburst Bag when I first saw it in Louis Vuitton Spring 2010 RTW show, but they have grown on me gradually, especially the green Sunburst PM bag. I do love casual functional yet stylish bags and the bold bright green color, which is created using exclusive denim bleaching technique. Well, this Sunburst Bag from Louis Vuitton is just a perfect combination of the two elements I like. As you see, radiant colors and natural cowhide leather trimmings add  its enchantment. And the gorgeous  Sunburst bag exquisitely captured carefree urban style which is hard to get. Coming in fresh green, the radiant and exquisite sunburst bag is an ideal choice for this spring and summer.

Valentino Rouches Napa Hobo— Thumbs UP or Thumbs Down?

I have been wanted to write something about this Valentino Rouches Napa Hobo since my first time to see it. Several days later, today, I made up my mind to say something about it. I know clearly that many girls think this bag with ruffles looks quite gaudy. While, I like almost all the Valentino bags with its unique ruffles.  When it comes to this one, I’m not sure. The ruffles are supposed to help the bag stand out and make the bag unique, even one-of-a-kind. But the way ruffles works on this Valentino Rouches Napa Hobo probably is an exception, seriously, it doesn’t appeal me like the Valentino’s ruffle bags I talked before. I guess that’s the reason why I wrote it today, not the day when I saw it.

No matter what the state of the economy is, there is something to be said for possessing one of the big name brand bags, which Valentino is a part of. Its signature ruffles have deeply impressed anyone who has been always keeping pace with fashion. This Valentino Rouches Napa Hobo maybe not the one which can touch most women’s hearts. While, admittedly, the leather itself is utterly gorgeous. It is so supple, beautiful and flawless that I have no idea to comment it. Now, give your thumbs up or down,you have the choices.

Alexander McQueen

“Each piece is unique, as was he.” As the notes read, the 16 pieces showcased in Alexander McQueen’s last collection are really regal and stunning. It is tragic that such a masterful, artistic genius leaves us so soon. Her death saddening all his fans cast a shadow over the fall show, while his incomparable masterpieces have left a legacy of exquisite medieval beauty. Among various fashion shows, genius McQueen’s final collection locates in the top one fashion list. And the CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) announced McQueen’s special board of directors honor on Wednesday, you know, he really deserves it.

Late McQueen’s final show successfully hold by his trusted team shows his talent as a tailor, as a fashion master and as the most passionate romantic in the fashion world again. From the regal and exquisite outfits, you will find the 2010 fall show in McQueen final life is full with poetic, medieval beauty that dealt with religious iconography. And the models’ head coverings are so special, which can be only found in Northern European medieval portraiture. For passing-away master McQueen, and for the lost artistic beauty that will never appear again, let’s enjoy the last masterpieces and mourn with emotion.


Chanel Fall 2010 Ready-to-Wear Runway Show:Arctic Winter Full with Furs

If you watched the Chanel Fall 2010 Ready-to-Wear Runway Show, you would find the reason why the audience felt very cold in Paris Grand Palais when watching the Yves St. Laurent show. It’s simple, as you imagine, other half of the Palais was housing Chanel’s icebergs.

Totally different form his barnyard scene of last season, Karl Lagerfeld hauled a snowcapped peak, transported from Scandinavia purportedly into the palais to stage an arctic show of furs. Admittedly, it’s really a wise idea to hold this fur show in such cold palais decorated with giant arctic icebergs. And it seems that Karl Lagerfeld’s design for this show stage was inspired by the concern of global warming. Fashion world is of aware of environmental issue and now and then celebs join hands to save animals by shows and charities, and Karl Lagerfeld just did the same thing . It’s a fur show indeed, but it’s about faux fur concerning global environmental issue. Giant furry Yeti-like pants, fur boots, fur handbags, fur coats, fur shorts, all that you would imagine, would be found at the Chanel Fall 2010 Ready-to-Wear Runway Show.

The warmly-dressed models in white, sloshing through water from melting icebergs look like polar bears, while the models in head-to-toe brown fuzzy outfit look like monkey kings, well, quite handsome ones. It’s funny, uhh? But it wasn’t all staged for laughs, the fur worked perfectly in some looks, I mean, knitwear. As you know, Chanel always stands out in the context of a season of innovative knitwear. As it shows, a group of three short angora sweater dresses are really amazing. They are likely to have a good run this fall. Among so many suits, which one do you prefer?

Valentino Spring 2010 bags with Floral Details

As you’ve seen in various 2010 collection shows, many fashion brands dedicate part or whole collection to flowers. Floral prints seem to be the inspiration for spring summer collection, and Valentino knows it best.  Valentino’s handbags are always highly elegant and exquisitely designed. I’m fall in love with this beautifully crafted Valentino tote with floral details at my first sight. I have to admit that I’m a big fan of Valentino, its fabulous spring summer collection with signature ruffles appeals me much, the perfectly embellished handbags really hit me as well.

The colorful Valentino tote with floral details in the top picture is my favorite, which is made of back leather adorned with multicolor napa leather flower appliques. I believe that any girl will be crazy about such fabulous handbag, which is just the right one for spring and summer, lighting up your entire outfit. While the color of the second one tends to be a little dull, which, I think is not my style. The bright and colorful Valentino tote and the gray, yet quietly elegant one, which one do you prefer?

Victoria Beckham with Louis Vuitton Controversial foxtail

Anyone will not ignore the corlorful controversial foxtail accessories displayed in Louis Vuitton spring summer collection. Before the collection show, Victoria Beckham has already been spotted with the swinging vulpine foxtail accessory attached with the Louis Vuitton sunrise bag. I do like the bag without swinging foxtail. People’s tastes vary, someone likes the cute accessory which can be attached with bags, while someone dislikes, even feels sick about this foxtail design. Animal lover and reality TV star Sharon Osbourne is just one of them, and she is urging her fans not to purchase them in her Twitter post. In opponents’ eyes, it’s heinous to design such foxtail accessories and use them. Many people, some are her fans, some are not, gave Sharon the thumbs up for her animal-friendly post, even the people for PETA (Ethical Treatment of Animals) felt pleased about her action.

Just as one of her fans appealed, we need more people to wake up the CONSCIENCE OF HUMANITY on animal issues. Sharon Osbourne is the one who’re working for this. But it’s not enough, what we need more is we do it by ourselves. And it does seem ridiculous to hang a sign slaying, I KILLED a creature if you attach the foxtail to your bag!

Valentino Fall 2010 Runway Show Full of Ruffles


2010

My first impression of the Valentino Fall 2010 Runway Show: ruffles, ruffles and still ruffles.  It’s obvious that the designer Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paulo Piccioli followed the tradition of Valentino’s signature ruffles. It’s no doubt that this Valentino Fall 2010 Runway Show is the the most successful collection of the two designers.  And I’m love with its signature design,  among various brands shows, I do love this Valentino Fall 2010 Runway Show.

As the pictures show,  kinds of ruffles including curved ruffles, tiered ruffles, scalloped ruffles, delicate ruffles and dramatic ruffles ware fully used for this collection. Besides Valentino’s signature red, the new gowns come in nudes, black and white. I personally like the last picture best,head-to-toe red dress, which I also attached in my last article, though I know  the show-stopping works were the nude scalloped edge gown with black lace details and the black lace high-neck gown.  And what we can’t ignore are the pointy-toe flats or hills that fastened with three delicately studded straps, which are sure to hit this summer and become most covetable shoes.  For this Valentino Fall 2010 collection, which one do you prefer?

Valentino Rose Vertigo Hobo with Valentino’s Signature Ruffles

You must be familiar with this Valentino Rose Vertigo Hobo which is similar with Valentino Rose Vertigo Satchel if you’ve read the articles in my blog earlier. They both show Valentino’s signature ruffles again. As you see, clothes displayed in Valentino fall 2010 runway show not only followed its Valentino’s signature ruffles, but also followed its signature color, red. And this red Valentino Rose Vertigo Hobo with swirling ruffles is another good example to demonstrate Valentino’s two signature elements.

This  brilliant rectangle-shaped Valentino Rose Vertigo Hobo  comes in  exquisite nappa leather with rose petal motif. It perfectly illustrates ladies’ personal fashion and femininity. However, everyone has his own style; someone hates its flashy look due to convoluted ruffles those others like very much. I personally like its ruffles design, which always brings me in good mood, and that’s the reason why I write much about Valentino’s handbags.
